Abstract

This paper is a report of the synthesis of feminism and science in a study of the personal goals of recently divorced women with children. The divorce records of three counties were used to identify the participants; eight categories described the primary goals identified by 250 women. Independence, followed by employment and education were the most frequently cited categories. Analysis of variance was computed to analyze the relationships among the primary goal categories, the personal characteristics of the women and their feminist attitudes. Age was the only variable related to selection of a primary goal. Older women chose employment and environmental goals more often than they did mental health goals.
